José González: In Our Nature coming in September
Swedish Grammis winner, José González, will release In Our Nature in the US on September 25 via Mute Records, and Imperial Records will bring the album to the rest of world on September 26.

"In Our Nature is an album that on the one hand is very accessible and speaks easily, and on the other has a darkness and a seriousness that more than often borders on what should be considered healthy." (Imperial Records)
Music from this Argentinean Swede has reached around the world with "four years of constant touring." On May 31 González continued his global trek, where he will be walking onto stages in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Uraguay, Sweden, Belgium, Turkey, France, Ireland, Japan, and the US.
José González's debut, Veneer, sold over 700,000 copies world-wide, at a time when selling 60,000 copies could land an artist on the #1 spot on Billboard. He won the Swedish Government's Music Export Prize at Grammis 2007, four years after his music began to spread beyond Scandinavian shore lines. González joined Zero 7 after recording with them, and enjoyed being nominated for a Grammy (US) as Best Electronic / Dance Album for their release of The Garden.
